At their first red carpet event since stepping down as senior members of the royal family, Prince Harry and Meghan, Duchess of Sussex wowed at the 2021 Salute to Freedom Gala at New York’s Intrepid Museum.
Dressed in a show-stopping red dress by Carolina Herrera, Meghan glowed as she accompanied her husband and it seems the two are more in love than ever.
In photos uploaded by Sergeant Davidson Recardo, a sweet moment between the Duke and Duchess of Sussex was captured.
What’s more, fans were able to get a good look at the stunning detailing on the back of Meghan’s dress.
“Yesterday or a few hours ago, my Joint colours team and I honoured Veterans at the @intrepidmuseum The Duke and the Duchess of Sussex graced us with their presence. 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾 hashtag honour in serving,” the sergeant wrote in his caption.
They also shared a candid snap of Harry and Meghan posing for a rare, candid photo at the gala.
More photos were also shared by the Duke and Duchess of Sussex’s non-profit Archewell.
The snaps taken by photographer Lee Morgan show the couple hand-in-hand sharing a private moment.
Fans also noticed that Meghan paid tribute to her mother-in-law Princess Diana as she wore the late Princess of Wales’ diamond tennis bracelet to accessorise her look. Meghan wore the same piece during her and Harry’s interview with Oprah Winfrey back in March.
While presenting the 2021 Intrepid Valour Award, Prince Harry spoke of his own personal experience with the military and how he understands why servicemembers often feel isolated after they come home or once they leave the forces.
“I’ve lived in the US for close to two years now. I have to say, witnessing your support for all those that put themselves in harm’s way in defence of our freedoms and liberties—it’s remarkable and hugely respected,” the Duke of Sussex remarked in his speech.
“It reminds me of the deep reverence us Brits have for our military as well. The armed forces communities in both our countries share a special bond, and I’m grateful to have served in support of our joint allyship for many years.”
